No: you can't get pregnant the day before your period.

Yes: If you had unprotected intercourse, there is always a possibility of pregnancy. There is no way to tell for sure until you either miss a period or have a positive pregnancy test. I would recommend you take a pregnancy test in a couple of weeks.
